I'm struggling for words today, to be honest. I feel as though I'm fighting a losing battle. Work stress is getting on top of me and feels a little like treading water. I'm still not sleeping more than a couple of hours per night and I don't think that's helping me recover from feeling like an absolute zombie, all of the time.

I feel as though I'm rotten company at the moment, so have been avoiding social engagements I'd usually be attending, then feeling guilty about missing them. It's a stupid situation.
I'm sure my friends would understand how I'm feeling, if I explained it, but I feel as though by doing so I'd be burdening them, which isn't what I want to do. So it all, like everything else, stays locked away in my head. Ugh.

Anyway, this was yesterday's outfit. I wasn't feeling too inspired, but dragged this dress out of the wardrobe because it's one of the handful that I usually turn to when I'm lacking ideas. This jumper was a Christmas present so I've not really had it that long, but has fast become one of the things I'll grab when I want a cosy layer.

I've not used this bag for a little while, so it seemed time to switch back to it. I've had to take a set of pliers to it in order to try and tighten up the top clasp, which seems a little better now, but still does sometimes pop open when I'm wearing it.

These boots are one of the first pairs of Irregular Choice I ever bought. Who ever knew my collection would grow so much over the past ten years?
